ME Time

What’s your ideal Saturday morning? Are you doing those things this morning? Why not?

I believe one of the best ways to look after your mental health is to enjoy regular—preferably daily ME time. Time alone  doing only what you want to do—something that isn’t taxing on the brain. ME time recharges and energises me. I also prepares me to do battle with whatever lies ahead or brings me down from a busy and demanding day at work.

Saturday morning is my favourite time to catch up with myself. My busy week is over and I am usually home alone. I love the silence. I love the only sounds I can hear are the birds chirping outside—it quietens my busy head immediately. Upon rising usually early, I grab a cup of tea and head to my blog. I enjoy the excitement creating new posts in different styles brings me as well as visiting other blogs. It never ceases to amaze me how one topic can be interpreted in so many ways. I also enjoy learning more about the people, words and experiences that make up my ever-growing blogging community.

During busy weekend times when I cannot fit in my blogging hit to start off my weekend—I feel more stressed. ME time is definitely my de-stress time. I find ME time is definitely my oxygen to get through the rough parts of  life—like the plane warning states “put your own oxygen mask on before helping others.” So now I prioritise my ME time.  If I am busy I get up fifteen minutes earlier—to have some ME time—in the end I feel better for it as my day runs much smoother.

  1. Definitely! I’ve always tried to find a few minutes of ‘me’ time – what the French call quant-à-soi, just time to reflect, taste the calm, recompose etc. Essential!

  2. Saturday morning. I love listening to the old 50’s and 60’s music with Bernard Mathews…. His voice is such a warming memory. I wonder how old he is now? ❤️

  3. I agree! I miss having time for just me. If I could be alone with peace and quiet on most days, I would. It’s been hard because the people in my life now, don’t understand, and they want to spend so much time together. It’s exhausting.

  4. ME TIME is an awesome thing! I try to find some each day. My ;curse; right now is finding exercise time! I enjoy ME TIME more than exercise time!
